In Matsuta Yuta's office, Cheng Xiaofeng sat on the sofa and stared at the war situation map on the table. This was the latest situation map, which had just been drawn by the staff officers of the Shanghai Army Headquarters.
The situation map clearly marked the direction of the Japanese army in the next ten days. This was not a situation map, but a battle plan!
The 9th and 13th Divisions advanced north along the west bank of the Bei Fei River and Wo River to attack Meng City and Yong City in the north of the province.
'The 3rd Division crossed the Hui River from Bengbu and attacked Su County in the north of Wan';
'The 16th Division crossed the canal and attacked Juye and Shan County in Northern Jiang';
The 10th division crossed Weishan Lake and attacked Feng County Pei County in northern Jiangsu.
'Sato Division, 11th Division conquers East Ocean (Hai Province)';
The 14th division crossed the Yellow River and attacked Yun City and Heze.
Finally, the huge net that the Japanese army had prepared began to spread and close. All the Japanese troops in Xuzhou were mobilized, and their targets were clear. If the Japanese army's combat deployment was in place, the space that the Xuzhou army originally had would be infinitely compressed, and they would almost be completely wiped out.
Cheng Xiaofeng gasped. The 250,000 Japanese troops were ready to swallow the 800,000 Chinese troops. This information had to be sent out as soon as possible. In comparison, the mobilization of the 14th division was not that important.
Seeing Cheng Xiaofeng's expression change, Matsuta Yuta looked tired, but he still said in high spirits,""Cheng Sang, the headquarters has made up their mind this time. In order to end the war as soon as possible, we must completely annihilate the enemies of Xu Prefecture with lightning speed. The idea of the battle plan is the same as yours, but yours is more subtle and gentle. The Empire would have to pay a greater price to execute this battle plan. Of course, the results would also be remarkable.”
"Ha Yi, the 14th division has already sent a message to our Cherry Blossom team to head to Heze City immediately to find out about the city defense. However, we haven't been able to contact teacher.”
Yuta Matsuta's expression changed and suddenly became gloomy. He thought for a while and then slowly shook his head.
"Cheng Sang, how much do you know about Special Team 5?”
"Director, could it be that the army headquarters has already learned of Teacher's situation in Guide?”
"Do you think that Special Task Force 5 has infiltrated the army headquarters?”
"Does Special Team 5 really exist?"
Neither of them answered each other's questions, but they asked four questions one after another. Then, the two of them fell silent at the same time, perhaps thinking about each other's problems.
"I'm sorry, Chief. The so-called Special Team 5 is just Wang Xing's one-sided statement. It's not the information we obtained from the enemy's core. I will inform the intelligence team in Wu Han to confirm this Special Team 5.”
"It's not in Wu Han, it's in Chang De?"
"Changde?"
"Yes, Special Team 5 belongs to Feng Ti, who is the commander of the Changde garrison.”
"Understood. Our Changsha intelligence team has already gained a firm foothold. I will pass this mission to them. At the same time, the intelligence team in Wu Han will try to bribe a combat staff officer of the Military Committee. If Deputy Team Leader Wang can provide some valuable information, our investigation team will have a stronger direction.”
"Cheng Sang, I did mention Guide to Commander Jun Ryu. Commander Jun Ryu will also inform Commander Shou Yi Terauchi of this situation. General Doihara also knows that the Cherry Blossom Squad is in Guide.”
"Director, we can ask the commander. It's our job to capture spies. I can start from the 14th division and check them one by one.”
"Cheng Sang, I know how you feel. How about this? I'll investigate all the possibilities in one day.”
"Ha Yi, Director, I understand. I will go back and call the Cherry Blossom Team.”
"Alright, Cheng Sang, take care of your rest. If you don't have enough manpower, I can send more to you.”
"Ha Yi, I've decided to do this myself. By the way, Chief, Miss Yuuko has been brought back. I plan to arrange for her to join the Cherry Blossom Unit. She gets along well with Jiamei and will become an excellent radio operator.”
"Is that so? Is that girl in a good condition?”
"Not bad, but I need to get used to it.”
"Very good, keep it a secret!"
"Ha Yi!" Of course, Cheng Xiaofeng knew that there were two meanings to keeping it a secret. One was to keep Sachiko's background a secret from the colleagues of the Special Higher Police. The other was to keep some secrets of the Special Higher Police a secret from Sachiko. After all, Sachiko's background still needed to be investigated.
——————
When he returned to the Sakura Telegram Office, Cheng Xiaofeng wrote three telegrams.
One was sent to the 14th division to report the situation of the Cherry Blossom team temporarily losing contact. Actually, this could also make Tufei Plain's offense more conservative.
One of them was directly sent to the Changde headquarters, which was the Japanese army's attack plan.
One was to seek Feng Ti's opinion on how to deal with Wang Xing. The best way was for the higher-ups to issue an order to cancel Wang Feng's mission to investigate Special Task Force 5.
At this point, Cheng Xiaofeng sat on the chair and let out a long sigh of relief. There were really a lot of things to do today. From Chen Licheng's interview to the Qing Gang's White Impermanence's attack, from preparing the pass for the Underground Gang to losing contact with the Sakura Group, from rescuing Sachiko to sending out the three pieces of information, all of these were intertwined.
Fortunately, the Japanese army's attack plan had already been issued. How the military committee responded was no longer something he could control. If Li Zongren wanted to retreat, where should he go? Could Guide hold on? The Longhai Line was so long and there were so many defense nodes. How could they ensure smooth traffic?
Sensei, Ichiro Suzuki, what is your situation?
——————
As a professional spy, he would go through what happened during the day before he went to bed every day. He would examine some details and logical relationships, mainly to see if he had missed anything and if there was a possibility of exposing his identity.
He thought of what had happened in the concession today. Why would the White Impermanence suddenly appear at such a critical moment? Had they been waiting there for a long time? Since that ruffian leader knew that it was White Impermanence's territory, how could he dare to behave atrociously there and cause such a huge commotion?
Could it be that they were putting on a show to make him appear?
What about the military police agents? Why were they there? What mission were they on?
Suddenly, he straightened his body. Ever since Hu Junjie was stabbed, Chen Gongshu seemed to have disappeared. He believed that his instructor must be brewing something. What could it be? Could it be related to today's incident?
A series of questions made Cheng Xiaofeng feel that danger was approaching. He had to communicate with Uncle Ho.
——————
When Cheng Xiaofeng thought of Chen Gongshu, Chen Gongshu was playing cards with Bai Wuchang. This was an underground casino on Nanjing Road that belonged to the Qing Gang. The dim lights, the lingering smoke, and the dull air all showed that this was just a very ordinary single room, which did not match their identities.
There were four people in a game. The one sitting opposite White Impermanence was a fat bald man. He always had a smile on his face, and he looked like a living Buddha. If Cheng Xiaofeng was there, he would definitely recognize him as the landlord of the safe house. If Hu Junjie was still alive, he would have recognized that he was the Smiling Buddha.
Cheng Xiaofeng also recognized the person sitting opposite Chen Gongshu. He was the leader of the ruffians.
But now, he didn't look like a ruffian at all. Whether it was his temperament or his appearance, he was completely different from before. He was dressed appropriately, and when he was with the three of them, he didn't feel inferior at all.
He had at least ten identities and could freely appear in all levels of the Shanghai Bund. He was a spy for the military commander, a core figure of the Shanghai Bund gang, a celebrity of the upper class, a talent of the brothels, and a drunkard in a low-class tavern. At one moment, he was a gangster on the streets, and the next moment, he was a university professor, an editor of a newspaper, a racecar rider, and a shareholder of the racecar. He even played with others. He was proficient in all kinds of languages and made friends with the French, the British, the Americans, the Germans, and the Japanese. He had all kinds of intelligence channels, collected all kinds of information, and sold all kinds of information.
He belonged to the first spy group, but he was not controlled by the first spy group. His background was clean, he had never done anything evil, he was unrestrained and unrestrained.
He was almost omnipotent, but he said that he was just a tramp who wandered on the beach. Sometimes, he even said that he was a boat without oars, drifting with the flow. He was the most romantic among the heroes of the beach.
His name was Wang Laowu. He was not a killer of the Qing Gang, but he was on good terms with the three killers. His code name in the first spy group was "Eagle Falcon". He was a major and led the entire spy group. There were less than four people who knew Wang Laowu's identity: Wang Xing, Boss Dai, Chen Gongshu, and the dead Hu Junjie. Even the 'mirror' Xiaohong only heard his voice every time she received information and conveyed orders.
Coincidentally, Cheng Xiaofeng knew all four of them. However, he would never have thought that the four of them would be able to come together. He would never have thought that the person who made the four of them come together was actually Wang Xing. At this moment, they were all focused on mahjong. They were all waiting for the person who had set up the trap, but the person who had set up the trap had yet to appear.
——————
Wang Xing had been leading the investigation team in the concession recently. As long as he was given power and space to display his abilities, as long as he was allowed to step into the Shanghai Bund, he could turn into a dragon and cause trouble.
What annoyed Wang Xing the most was that his spy team had been tainted by others. Last time, it was Hu Junjie, and this time, it was Chen Gongshu.
If Chen Gongshu wanted to gain a foothold in Shanghai, it was not as simple as killing one or two traitors. He had to take down the Intelligence Team One. Without the Intelligence Team One, his position as the station master of Shanghai Station was in vain, and Eagle Falcon was the soul of the Intelligence Team One.
Although he had the big boss's imperial sword, it was difficult to suppress the local snake.
So there was such a meeting. Today, Wang Xing set up a banquet at the concession, and it was up to Chen Gongshu to see if he dared to attend. He had asked Old Wang Wu to meet the two assassins of the Green Gang to meet the number one assassin of the commander. He wanted to show the other party his might. Chen Gongshu did not even greet him when he killed Hu Junjie. It was obvious that he did not take him seriously. Killing Hu Junjie was clearly a show of strength.
However, just as he and Wang Laowu were waiting for White Impermanence and Smiling Buddha in the teahouse, they suddenly noticed two Japanese women coming to Nanjing Road downstairs. One of them was Jia Mei from Sakura Teleportation Office. What was Jiamei doing here? She never left the Special Higher Police. Looking into the distance, a familiar figure flashed past the entrance of the Bund Park. Although it was just a quick glance, Wang Xing was sure that the person was Cheng Xiaofeng.
Wang Xing's killing intent rose but he suppressed it. He did not mind crippling this person but he was really afraid. It was a fear that came from his bones.
Wang Laowu saw Wang Xing's uncertain expression and looked at him questioningly.
"He's my sworn enemy. He gave me a lot of trouble in the Special Higher Police.”
"Japanese?" Wang Laowu asked the two Japanese women downstairs.
"No, he's from China, and he's a senior captain.”
"What's wrong? Traitor! Station Chief, kill him!"
"No, how about this? That person came with these two Japanese girls. He entered the Bund Park. You can go and test him, give him some pain, think of a way to get a hold of him, break a leg is fine, it's best if he can't get out of bed for three months.”
"Alright, didn't he come with these two Japanese girls? Then I'll put on a good show for them. This is White Impermanence's territory, I have to borrow a few people from him. Stationmaster, just stay here and enjoy the tea.”
——————
Not long after Wang Laowu left, Smiling Buddha came and watched the show with him. When Cheng Xiaofeng appeared, Smiling Buddha suddenly said something.
"I've seen this person before."
Wang Xing was about to go crazy. He stared at the Smiling Buddha with his eyes wide open and said with a bitter smile,"I've seen him before. How can I kill the wrong person after seeing him?”
"What is it? Is this the person you want to kill? But Brother Hu didn't say it was him."
"Then how do you know him?"
"One of my properties was turned into a safe house by an assassin for some reason. I was even arrested by the military police. Later, I was questioned by a Japanese officer.”
"Wait, a safe house? Were they the three apartments on Zhengyuan Street?”
"Oh, so you know."
Wang Xing could not believe it. He had flipped through the case file and found detailed records of the tea leaves in the safe house. He knew that this might be the breakthrough point of the case. He had wanted to find the landlord, but he did not expect the landlord to be the Smiling Buddha.
"Then you must remember who rented the house?”Wang Xing was almost impatient.
Smiling Buddha looked at Wang Xing playfully, as if he was trying to guess Wang Xing's intentions.
"I'm not handing him over to the Japanese. This is really important.”
"That person isn't tall, he's fat, but he has makeup on. He's a master at makeup, so you can't see through him. I knew that there was a problem here, so I secretly paid attention to it. As expected, the house was empty. The old man who rented the house would bring some items over from time to time and make obvious and dark marks on the door and the house. I saw that this person was an expert in the Dao, so I dispelled my curiosity to avoid being implicated.”
"Can you still recognize him?"
" It should be possible, but we need to get close to him. I'm familiar with his scent. He's only 1.6 meters tall, and he's the fatter type. He's also the owner of a tea house, probably in the concession. Although he looks generous, he doesn't have much money. Station Chief Wang, I know what you do.”She lowered her voice and glanced at the door.
Wang Xing also glanced outside and nodded.
Smiling Buddha said in a low and mysterious voice," They're good people too. In the past, I always thought that the underground party, the revolutionary, the military commander, and those ideologies were just the political tactics of those in power. Only recently did I understand that when the country really comes to life and death, it still depends on you.”
Wang Xing sighed." Yes, most people don't understand our world.”
When the two of them saw Cheng Xiaofeng, he was not in a hurry to squeeze into the crowd. Instead, he wanted a chance to pass through the crowd.
Wang Xing's face revealed a trace of disdain. A few hooligans were enough to make you retreat. In today's world, if one's fist was not strong, no matter how smart you were, there would always be a time when you would be defeated.
What happened next shocked Wang Xing even more. Cheng Xiaofeng actually stepped forward and faced seven or eight ruffians without any fear!
Wang Laowu's words made him look ashamed. Although they couldn't hear what he was saying, his expression was that of a generous speech. The entire audience had the intention of dispersing.
Wang Xing was a little angry. Just as he was about to get up, a young man came out to instigate the situation. Cheng Xiaofeng made a prompt decision. He casually threw out a stack of banknotes and dragged the two Japanese women away with the banknotes that flew in the air.
"Don't say, that traitor is really willing. He's quick-witted and is a man.”Smiling Buddha said.
Wang Xing's expression turned ugly as he said coldly,"That's not his money, so of course he doesn't feel bad. Besides, he's already thought of this move.”
Next, two military police agents appeared, and White Impermanence came out to prevent the situation from expanding, allowing Cheng Xiaofeng and the others to escape.
Although Wang Xing did not get the result he wanted, he once again experienced Cheng Xiaofeng's courage and boldness. In that situation, not many people could do it, and not many people dared to do it.
Wang Xing immediately went out and called one of his men outside. He pointed at the young man who was dragged away by his girlfriend and said,"Follow that young man. When they reach home, report back.”
"Yes, sir!" The detective squad brought a special agent with them and followed the couple into the crowd.
